Henry Street Dickerman Jr. ’30

Body

DICK DICKERMAN disappeared from his home in Springfield, Ill., on Aug. 11, 1992. His body was found a month later at the bottom of a cliff in a remote area of St. Louis County in Missouri. Homicide is suspected.

Dick came to Princeton from Mercersburg. He was a member of Court Club. Following graduation he studied medicine at Rush Medical College of the Univ. of Chicago. After receiving his medical degree, he returned to his boyhood home in Springfield and devoted his career to the practice of internal medicine. During WWII Dick served as a captain in the Army Medical Corps attached to the Air Corps in Africa and in the Mediterranean Theatre.

At the memorial service held in Springfield, Dick was referred to as "widely traveled, [and] known for his humor and voracious appetite for books."

Dick never married. To his surviving relatives and many friends, we extend our deepest sympathy on the yet unsolved death of this classmate.
